Elizabeth Battles Newlin

Special Guest Speaker: Frank Battles Newlin

Frank Newlin, island resident since the early 1990s

Frank will share stories of his grandparents, E. Mortimer & Elizabeth Battles Newlin who first arrived to visit Boca Grande by train from Pennsylvania in the 50s. They purchased the studio home on Gilchrist that was once owned by Louise & Frank Crowninshield. Frank’s grandmother, Elizabeth, later purchased the home on Park Ave. in 1971. Mrs. Newlin became a prominent
winter resident and member of the Boca Grande Community from the early 60s until her death in 1995.

Held in the Loggia of the Johann Fust Community Library on 10th Street

This program is free and open to all with refreshments to follow.
